kThe object of this invention isito provide an improved gas valve and spud holder with means forming a part of the valve lfor con-y necting the Bunsen tube of a gas `burner to .the gas supply line so that44 the gas conduit may be readily separated and closed at the valve for removal of the'burner and other purposes.

` These and other objects .will yappear from the following detailedk description and appended claims.

In the accompanying. drawings forming a f part of. this specification are illustrated embodiments of the featuresv of this invention in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view partly in section of a water heater illustratinga gas vappliance which is adapted for use ofv my improved valve. f

Figure 2 isa front elevational view of the gas and air mixing tube ofthe burner shown in Fig. 1;

Referring yto Fi lure 1, the numeral 1 designates the casing ol a heater having a lheating coil 2 adapted to be connected at its extremities in the usual manner tothe top and bottom ot a boiler, so that there is a circulation of Water through the coil and boilerfwhen the burner is in operation. The burner 3 is mounted on a Bunsen or mixing tube 4 by means of a threaded joint.

, The means comprising projecting lugs 5 a collar 6 forming an'integral part `of the Bunsen tube cooperate with helical projections or ledges 7 in a central aperture 9 of the base 8 to securelyanddetachably hold the Bunsen tube in position in the heater base.` A pair of diametrically opposed vertical slots (not shown) are provided-in the base for reception of thelugs 5 to permit the insertion and removalof the Bunsen tube in the assembled heater base.y

kThe heater base 8 is made inztwo pieces comprising the fixed element shown, and a removable element (not shown) that is adapted to engage the lugs 22 and tilll in the cut-out portion ofthe base providing a base VALVE 20,1936. se-riaim.123,690..`
